PROS Many updates have been made to this attached town house with wooded views of the waterlilies on Diamond Pond. On the main living level, the small but efficient kitchen is open to the dining room, which has a pass-through to the sunny living room, where sliders lead to the deck and a small brick patio for grilling. Upstairs, an office and two bedrooms share a hall bath, and a lower level has a garage and laundry hookup. The house is a short walk from town. CONS It lacks privacy, with the neighbors deck so close. CONTACT Fran McDavitt, RE/Max, Walpole, 508-494-7366, franmcdavitt.com

PROS This circa 1940 cottage has wall-to-wall views of Pleasant Pond from the large living/dining room with fireplace. Its galley kitchen is efficiently laid out but separated from the main room, and though theres no deck off the back of the house, it could easily accommodate one. Upstairs, theres an office and two bedrooms. Also included with the property is a two-car garage with a walk-up attic that could make a nice studio. Theres lots of terraced lawn space for patios and gardens. CONS The home could use some upgrades. CONTACT Peggy McNamara, Keller Williams, Wenham, 978-882-4455, 131793.yourkwagent.com
